Best Answer

The number of electoral votes for each state is equal to the sum of its number of Senators and its number of Representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. Based on the 2010 Census, there are 4 members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Arkansas. Therefore, Arkansas has 6 electoral votes. Arkansas has had 6 electoral votes since the 1964 presidential election. Based on the 1960 Census, the number of representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives from Arkansas reduced from 6 to 4 thereby reducing Arkansas' electoral votes from 8 to 6.
